Also, are malware-free cursor applications still a thing? Or does it make me an old man to want to do it in 2023?

    Terminal makes things easy. I used to prefer gui, but now I just use terminal and ChatGPT because doing anything can simply be a matter of copy paste commands into the terminal from AI instead of having to research and/or navigate through settings menus to find the right setting.

        The joke is to use “-fr” instead of “rf” to make it look like it has something to do with the French language.

      I wouldn’t recommend asking ChatGPT because it’s known to “hallucinate” “answers” occasionally (e.g. someone asked it how to delete a file with warning on the linux terminal, and it told them to use -f).
